User Review

Extremely funny. Well, I am Polish, so what would you expect?

Rating: 1/10

A barrel of laughs, especially when viewed with my nephews. The image of a "typical" Polish village, named Alvania (BTW: no place in Poland can be named like this, because there's no "v" in Polish) + those funny looking medieval priests + the unbelievable Polish language dialogues, had us all ROTFL. It wasn't meant to be shown to Polish audience, of course (who cares about those medieval morons), but it has been shown to us, so here you have it.

And one more thing. While not being a religious person myself, I find it somewhat irritating that Christianity is constantly used as a vehicle for this kind of debilitating and pointless BS, leaving other religions grossly underrepresented. Hey, can't we think of some other religion to fit the bill? Perhaps one that would even have made better sense in this case (if "sense" is the right word)? Anything coming to mind? I have nothing against ridiculing religions or putting them in bad light (it is only a movie after all), but why the discrimination? During the most brutal scenes, like heads being squashed by priests, those priests use verbatim the words of basic prayers to which I am kind of attached by tradition (and which are known to basically every Polish child, religious or atheist). Very funny indeed. Lots of class and good taste, so typical of a North American movie whose action takes place in some exotic and necessarily backward European country.
